Just how much criminal behavior are you willing to endure from your government?

Mark Twain noted the only distinctly criminal class in America is – Congress! So just what crimes has congress engaged in? I could write a book on it but for brevity sake I’ll just name a few:

1. Congress breaches its fiduciary duty to account for spending by adopting non-standard accounting methods. They cook the books to hide the fraud.
2. Congress passed laws that in effect legalize the slave trade. It’s called a War on Drugs but the net effect is to warehouse people for Wall Street profit. It has nothing to do with crime, everything to do with investor’s profits and the public employments it provides.
3. Congress authorizes extortion. We have our hit men pushing democracy down other country’s throats at 737 military bases in other people’s land. And that’s just the official count. It doesn’t count the 107 bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and many others “off the record.” Small wonder we get “non-standard” accounting from them. Our generals still haven’t accounted for that missing $1.2 trillion. Apparently they think it’s none of our business.
4. Congress authorized the building of 30,000 nuclear weapons. We never needed any to conduct a nuclear war against countries we were told threatened us as all had built commercial nuclear reactors so had already targeted themselves for nuclear annialation by conventional means. Building such weapons makes every taxpayer a co-conspirator to commit mass murder.

Well, I could go on and on about this but I think you get the point. Why do we tolerate it?  Both major parties have failed to protect the public interest, have sold out completely to private interests.  Don’t vote for anyone backed by them regardless of what they say, Obama being a classic example of saying one thing and doing the opposite.
